Re: [FWDLK] Torque Converter From Hell

[Ray Jones <hurst300@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was advised to pour White Vinegar in the plug holes and wait a day or so.
I tried this on several of my Ford 8N tractors, and it worked. One of these
tractors was stuck 6 years ago when we bought this property. It freed up
some in 24 hours. Don't know why, but it works.
Try it, Ray
